There is this Democratic candidate for president, Beto O'Rourke, who apparently has a penchant for seaking high (moral?) grounds for his speeches: bar countertops, restaurant tables, etc. However, this is not an invitation for a political debate, just to set a stage for a related joke, as told by Ronald Reagan:

"A horrified crowd gathered, and the tired bishop made his way down the belfry, arriving just as the policeman arrived. The policeman asked the bishop "What happened?" The bishop explained that he had refused the troll the bell ringing job and the troll began chasing him. "How did you escape?" asked the policeman. The bishop's reply: "I was saved by the bell."

I didn't see that coming. I thought it'd be, "Don't ask for whom the bell trolls."

Well yes, sir.If you look with attention you'll discover Bruno Ganz acting Bruno Ganz in a Hitler costume. You could have seen Bruno Ganz acting Bruno Ganz in, say, a Faust costume. Faust is a character by Goethe, a German author.Or in another theater role. As you can see Robert De Niro, John Travolta, Tom Cruise etc acting themselves in different roles So is it usually with actors.BTW Bruno Ganz passed away shortly ago, in Februar. A great actor.

Nooooo.... And there I was, thinking that was an authentic, historic footage of Hitler himself. And you are now shattering my illusion by bluntly, mercilessly telling me it was just an actor, and the whole scene just a movie!? My perception of reality might never be the same again.
